----------------------
A sidenote: I'd like to apologize for my absence from the forum recently. I'm doing my best to release Hero Corruption 2 later this year, and to complete this goal I had to allocate more time to its development.

As you all may know, I don't want to reduce the quality or amount of content in Hero Corruption 1 patches, so I had to sacrifice some of the time I had on the forum, even though I believe it's very important that you all stay up to date with everything that's happening with both games. Unfortunately some sacrifices have to be made.

To compensate, I would like to share with you a summary of the development of the new game: An achievement system has already been implemented, along with the new codex. The UI is almost done and the new character development system is also being finalized. The girls chosen by the polls have already been exported to the new project and Deep Forest is now complete with three new exclusive enemies.

I just need to populate the Forest with new girls, finish the UI and character creation system, I'll give more details of the development in the middle of this month.

Last but least,
@Captain Ping Pong: The bug you had mentioned earlier has been fixed (hopefully) in this version and in v1.50
@Errant_: The new potion pricing has also been implemented

Thank you both for the suggestions and bug report and thank you all for your interest and understanding ! :love:

Don't know if someone told you but, if you don't spend additional money (not even adding zero as a number) with the alchemist in the city then your gold value will turn to: NaN

Hi Alectra. To be honest, I've been having a bit of a headache with this bug, because I don't know exactly which girl is causing it. By alchemist would you be referring to the witch Janna, owner of the Shop? Or the girl who sells recipes?

Hey, just wanted to tell you that I loved the tease and played it a lot in the last week :-)
However I lost my save by mistake, is there a way to get points without having to farm for 5 hours ?

Hi grelgen, I preferred to keep the corruption a little higher, as there are no checks to trigger her bad ending.

I understand that it may be a little of a hassle to trigger her BE on purpose, but I believe that this is better than a lower value that might end a potentially good run

Thanks arco !

You can get a couple of extra points using the cheat code: "Laura gurl best gurl". This code must be entered the first time you play the game, where your hero's name should be.
Spoiler: show
(You can use this code twice)

Good to see Lakeside fully fleshed out :-)
Spoiler: show
Although, now I feel it outshines Deep Forest in something approximating "quality". Not a bad thing, means you're improving :-)

The new friend for the night is a nice touch.. a little hard to catch thou! Intentional, I get it, shows up if you're really struggling, but can't catch her for fun in a serious run.. hmm.. have her offer a surrender after a fight under some specific conditions (something like 5-10 kills or so?)

Didn't find the new soul (haven't really played the latter half of the game, mostly just the new stuff), so can't comment on that, sounds interesting thou!

Couple bugs I ran into:
Molly's HP-knockout can be escaped (while Restrained, Dominated and Charmed .. charming :-) ). The debuffs carry on thru, into a F5-reload as well.

Gina's "broken" from the bad end carried over to the next game. Not sure if just the tag or actual debuff.
(This may have been after that broken "broken", but you'll know if it applies: ) If you show up with enough corruption, Gina instantly goes to BE; with Holy Talisman and friends in the game, I wouldn't exactly handle it like that. Maybe do that check only during the restrained portion?

Six times in a row I had the same ending right at the beginning. Sorry, but I got bored after the third attempt.

just thought of an idea but not sure what to call it.

You have the castle where you collect all of the bosses you had in the run

what if there was an area level "camp" or something that collects all the enemies from each area. Same as the castle, order them by their encounter times, you get a blue pot at the end as a reward or some lump sum of gold.

Bruh, delete this whole Stamina stuff. It completely ruined the tease for me. It's unplayable. I can barely defeat anyone with this. After few blows my damage falls to literally 2. Great.

First, take a deep breath.
Second, well, tactics => spoiler.
Spoiler: show
The stamina system doesn't affect your DPS at all; a normal swing is double damage, but you need to rest every other turn = same damage as before. Plus now you can improve your output by doing bursts of damage whenever you benefit from it. So it's actually a win, difficulty-wise.

It's good to know that I'm getting better at developing new characters :love: even if it means some girls become obsolete, guess that's something natural to happen during game development.

I also thought about adding another trigger for Gina, but maybe it would be more interesting if this trigger was an indication that the player is not doing so well, since this is an event that is basically aimed at giving gameplay tips, the intention is that is focused on new players.
But I must confess that I still have no idea what this new trigger could be.

About the new soul, it has a

15% chance to be offered to you while you sleep, but you must have

10 corruption or more
The bugs you reported have been fixed, thank you very much spaisin ! :-D

I'm sorry to read that, HC can be quite hard at the beginning. If you're still interested in playing, I'd be happy to give you some tips or help you out in whatever ending you're stuck with

This is a great idea and I would love to add it. However, with this update there are more than 30 common enemies, and with each update at least two more new ones are added.

So maybe it's something to be implemented in the final version? It would definitely make the development of this new area much easier.

Hey Ganyu, I get your frustration, the stamina mechanic has its own learning curve, which can be hard to grasp once you're used to the old battle system. But as @spaisin said, it actually makes things easier once you get the hang of it.

If you want a tip, while you're not used to the new mechanic, rest in base until you reach 100 Stamina before exploring again and don't forget to wait a few turns during battle. Keeping your Stamina high increases your output damage considerably, so I wouldn't recommend you to let it drop below 50 unless you know what you're doing

----------------

re: the new soul
Spoiler: show
I didn't even get offered the new soul till day 34 (when it's useless) and i had the requirements since day 3. seeing as it should be a way to salvage a bad run with points, maybe offer it sooner somehow?
